    Yes, I may have to consider some beefier T-Bars now. Was trying to get away without them, but with the extra weight...

    After looking at my buddy's Jeep today, I am really liking the coil over idea (although his is no longer coil over). It might be nice to find a longer IFS arm which could be retro-fit to allow higher clearance and fit a coil over system. Dispite what all the hardcore roaders say, I still like the IFS over straight axles.

    Take one of your front wheels off and just sit down and look at the suspension. After you stare at it a while, you'll find that the easiest way to go coilover would be to add the mounts for dual shocks, much like the rally VX's. Very simple and straightforward, that mod won't have you making all sorts of custom parts and fiddling with the suspension geometry. Just four tabs and brackets per side, some shocks and you're done. Plus you have the upside of being able to switch between the OEM single unit for street and dual coilovers for off-road.
